    like where? according to Cook they do not have quotas.

    That was about the anecdote about Napoleon and French newspapers in 1815.

    no, it literally is not.

    You said it’s “promotion” in pre-hiring process, but not in the hiring process. Logically this means multiplication, that is, that this works as a quota. Mathematically it does, and, of course, I can’t for the life of me care what they call it in socialspeak.

    Hiring processes have ALWAYS used sex/race/etc in hiring, it is not a new thing invented by woke lefties. DEI policies are there to REDUCE it.

    Yes, I understand both these statements.

    The former is present when needed for business, policies or not, and the latter can help or not. Or it may help one problem and hurt another. Say, if some mechanism for “promotion” exists, the border between “eligible” and “not eligible” for it becomes a corruption (not necessarily bribes, also acquaintances, personal sympathies, ideological alignment of those hiring and those applying) opening, and also the priority between those eligible is a bit easier to use as such than outside of that mechanism.

    Anyway, half of my previous comment in this thread described it so much better than I’m trying to do now that I’ll stop. Read that please first.

    I’ll also add that the hardest part in building any mechanism is designing it properly, not voting for it and not being so proud how you voted once for the right party, voting doesn’t involve thinking, it involves putting a mark on a paper. And the reason various freaks and jerks are now in charge of your country is because of poorly designed mechanisms aimed at various noble goals failing again and again.

      utter garbage.

      you don’t understand shit.

      I’ll also add that the hardest part in building any mechanism is designing it properly, not voting for it and not being so proud how you voted once for the right party, voting doesn’t involve thinking, it involves putting a mark on a paper. And the reason various freaks and jerks are now in charge of your country is because of poorly designed mechanisms aimed at various noble goals failing again and again.

      what the fuck does this have to do with anything?

        Well, you might spend an hour or two thinking on what I wrote instead of being rude to people better than you.

          right back at you, genius.

          anyway, there is literally no point in thinking on anything you say if you honestly believe this:

          Me: “Hiring processes have ALWAYS used sex/race/etc in hiring, it is not a new thing invented by woke lefties. DEI policies are there to REDUCE it.”

          You: “The former is present when needed for business”

          All the non sequiturs and irrelevant historical quotes are just burying this very clear statement that you’re racist.

            Using Latin words doesn’t make you intelligent, and saying something is irrelevant doesn’t make it so.

            Anyway, you haven’t even started noticing what I actually wrote. I have executive function problems and argue in the interwebs too much, so - fool blocked.
